Isn’t it always the case that someone in a horror puzzle game has to save the day while dealing with monsters of all types? In the case of Allogloom by Iceberg Interactive and Galactic Ghosty, you’ll play as a young girl whose town is being picked off by monsters. To save the day, you’ll have to solve puzzles and figure out what’s really going on here. The title harkens back to the classic days of point-and-click adventures, and so if you’re feeling the need to get retro, you’ll want to check this game out on Steam when it drops on October 13th.
